Bürger und Soldaten 1918: Eine deutsche Revolution
Stockholm: Bermann-Fischer-Verlag, 1939. First edition. Hardcover. Quarto. 435, [1]pp. Original cream cloth with red and blue lettering on spine and front cover. The first volume of Alfred Döblin's monumental work about the German Revolution of 1918–1919. The four volumes—Vol. I: Bürger und Soldaten (Citizens and Soldiers), Vol. II Verratenes Volk (A People Betrayed), Vol. III, Heimkehr der Fronttruppen (Return of the Frontline Troops), and Vol. IV, Karl und Rosa (Karl and Rosa)—together comprise the most significant work from Döblin's period of exile (1933–1945). The work was highly praised by figures such as Bertolt Brecht, and critic Gabriele Sander has described the tetralogy as representing the culmination of Döblin's work in the genre of the historical novel.
